Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Have your expectations for the season changed?

    I respect Stanford's defense but see them losing at least 3 or 4 games in conference. Shaw is due to blow another game. I think they will lose a game or two where a team puts up 30+ on them. The Mariottas should put too many points on them also.

    I think their offense made our defense look better than it is. It's not like Stanford played well either. I thought they played like shit. We got our hands on quite a few passes
    Loved the effort of our defense though. Hope I am wrong but that game was not encouraging. We could barely get a first down. It wasn't like we were missing on 3rd and short. It was third and long after third and long.

    Expectations based off of talent and what you think will happen are separate things.

    It all depends how we do on the road. Can we final get the "road loss monkey" off our backs? If we can, then 10 wins is very doable.

    Miles was horrible in one game. I will give him a chance to redeem himself back to good.
    I do the the one part of the game I like and it will wins us games, is that we haven't done stuff to lose the game. Turnovers, etc.

    Well, we were fortunate to get them earlier in the year when they have 4 new starting OL and working in a new TE and new RBs.

    I just don't think our sample size for our Offense is big enough yet. 1st game, we had what will end up being our 3rd string QB starting. Games 2, 3, and 4, the offense mostly played well and scored a good amount of points but then in game 5, we play the best D in the conference with our new starting QB who had 4 starts under his belt against relatively weak competition (and missing our best OL in Riva) and look like crap. Stanford was smart to put Henry Anderson over Shelton to put pressure in Miles' in his face and then throwing in some blitzes and stunts too.

    I still think this team has 10 win talent, but would 9-4 (5-4) be a surprise? No. This team's depth is better than it was in 2009. Or that's the impression I get (I don't stalk 3rd stringers).

    Yes. We're going 8-4. By "we" I mean Oregon.
